Dear friends,
As President of the Board of the Panhandle-South Plains Fair, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 100 th annual South Plains Fair. The entire Board of Directors is excited about this milestone edition of the fair.
A century ago, a handful of West Texas Pioneers decided to organize a fair and stage it in Lubbock. The fair’s purpose, promoting an educational and entertaining environment, has not changed in the last hundred years, it has only flourished. Growth has been a tradition at the fair due to the rising number of exhibitors, contestants, volunteers, and non-profit organizations who have contributed strongly to its support.
This year we are excited to announce the introduction of our new carnival, Reithoffer Shows. Reithoffer Shows is a five generational family owned and operated carnival that has received the prestigious Outdoor Amusement Business Association (OABA) Circle of Excellence Award. Their array of carnival rides is sure to please everyone young and old. The ride lineup includes rides that have never been in Lubbock before including two roller coaster attractions!
Our free grounds entertainment this year is sure to be crowd pleasers. The acts consist of: Hypnotist Ron Diamond, Wild West comedian and trick roper T. Texas Terry, Sea Lion Splash, Fido 500, Kidz Buck$ Game Show, Rock it the Robot, Washboard Willy and a free fishing experience! Plus the addition of a new act to Lubbock, Aussie Kingdom’s Australian Adventure. Come check out all of these great shows for just the price of admission!
We invite you to keep this family tradition going by bringing the whole family out for the biggest “family fun event” in West Texas.
See you at the fair September 22nd – September 30th!
